Bad Girls

This powerful drama depicts the trials and triumphs of prison inmates and officers in a notorious women's prison. It's a tense and sexually charged atmosphere, a hidden world where anything can happen. In this unusual community, warmth and humor are required in order to survive the system. In the first season, a pregnant prisoner miscarries in her cell, an inmate is viciously strip-searched by her peers for drugs and another commits suicide after being bullied. Meanwhile, Nikki Wade, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of a policeman who attempted to rape her girlfriend, forms a relationship with engaged Wing Governor Helen Stewart.
